    Is the recycling symbol free speech? A judge just ruled it could be.

    A federal judge blocked California's SB 343, a law restricting the use of the recycling symbol to products that meet specific recyclability criteria, ruling it likely violates the First Amendment. The judge found the law's requirements were 'unconstitutionally vague' and would suppress commercial speech by discouraging the symbol's use altogether.

    California bans ‘sell by’ labels to curb food waste and emissions

    California has banned 'sell by' labels on food packaging to reduce food waste and emissions, replacing them with standardized 'Best if Used By' and 'Use By' labels. The law, effective since 2024, aims to address consumer confusion caused by inconsistent date labels, which often lead to premature disposal of safe food. Similar legislation is being considered in states like New York, Illinois, and Maryland.
